hello, i think i know what you feel.  i swore that 5 was my limit, no more and 
just this week i took in a new baby.  i wish i could win the lottery, then i 
could buy a large piece of land, fence it in and rescue all the dogs, cats and 
horses in our area.  actually, all animals.  i would rescue children, but they 
won't let me just pick them up and take them home.  if i could find a suitable 
home for them, i would adopt them out, if not, then they are mine.  so far, i 
have not had to turn one away, that would be awfully hard to do.  fortunately, 
i live in a rural area and there are no restrictions on how many you can have.  
my only restrictions are what i can afford and physically can care for.  dorlis
